Better product development. Collaboratively.

Design in Plastics is a business conference that focuses on the challenges and rewards of communication and collaboration between the disciplines of design, engineering, manufacturing, marketing and R&D—all with a view to improving product development.

This will be the second such event by SPE following its successful debut in June 2016 at the Rhode Island School of Design.

Design in Plastics 2017 will take place at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit and features presentations, panels and workshops on materials, processes, collaboration, design thinking, biomimicry, innovation management, intellectual property protection, sustainability, 3D printing, future trends and more.
